FT Island's Seung Hyun Is In a Relationship

Sorry Primadonnas! Looks like Song Seung Hyun (aka Song Sari) is off the market! (At least for now)

He confessed on the show, "All the K-Pop", very flustered they say since he was put on the spot by his hyung Hong Ki, that he is currently in a relationship! That Lee Hong Ki, he really is a trouble maker! (LOL, no wonder I love his so much!)

But relax, all of the other members are single, for now. So if you had/have a bias for Seung Hyun, perhaps fans may want to focus on the other lonely members.

I had to laugh at the article that AllKpop put out not too long ago about this. The comments referenced their most recent single, "I Wish" in the article saying that finally one of the members is no longer "lonely lonely". LOL!

Take heart die hard FT Island fans, and lets wish Seung Hyun and his new love happiness.

TVXQ Humanoids New MV Teaser

Seems like, I GreenTea, have been behind in my idol updates.  TVXQ has come out with a new music video called Humanoids.  Full version of the video will be released on Nov 26th.

I love their dance but it sounds and looks like their last release Catch Me video.  That video was pretty cool but I think they need some variety.

There's basically only two songs that DBSK sings that I like, Mirotic and Balloons.  Two completely different songs.  Balloons is just too cute and so at odds with the Mirotic image I have of them.

When DBSK split, it seems like SM Entertaiment just gave Yunho and Changmin one sound and stuck them in that hole.  I wish they would end the legal battle and put TVXQ and JYJ back together again.

In any case, here's Humanoids by TVXQ.  Video by SMTown's YouTube.



2012 MAMA voting Update



Is everyone voting??

Well, I must have been blind.  My previous post says that voting ends November 22nd.  It's actually November 28th, midnight.

Are your favorites in the running?  So far I have most of my favorite groups winning.  Super Junior leading in Best Male Dance Group and Song of the Year.  Shinhwa leading in Best Male Group and Artist of the Year. TVXQ leading in Best Global Group.  FTIsland leading in Best Band (Chai should be happy).

Also, are you a pretty girl?  MAMA is having an event for only who think they are pretty (very subjective, I think).  You need to sit in front of the computer and sing B.O.B and Bruno Mars' song Nothing on You.  Winner's video will be broadcasted on the live show and will win a signed CD and TShirt of a Super K-Pop Star.  Comb your hair and put on a pretty blouse and belt it out.  You may win.  Event Ends on November 24th.  Here's the site for more details: Beautiful Girl Singing Contest

Don't forget to vote for the MAMAs: 2012 MAMA voting

Stars Getting a Start on the Holidays

It's not even Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) yet, but some stars are getting into the holiday spirit already.

Like... Actor Song Seung Hun and FT Island's leader, Choi Jong Hun.

On their Twitter accounts, they posted holiday themed pics.

Seung Hun shared a photo of himself next to a lit tree. While Jong Hun changed his profile pic to a picture of himself against a snowflake background and a few red ornaments.

They make me love the holidays even more. ~Chai

FT Island to Release New Japanese Album November 28th



Yay! First, their 4th full length Korean album, "Five Treasure Box" and now their 9th Japanese album, "Polar Star", which will come out on November 28th.

I am very happy when I see a group that I like being productive. Not only do you see more of them during promotions, but if you're like me and live for new music, you get to listen to something different!

A teaser for their music video, "Polar Star", has already been released. And there's been articles saying that this is another album the members themselves have composed the tracks. Artists actually writing and making the music, how awesome is that? No wonder I love these guys!

The song "Fallin' For You" is composed by bassist Lee Jae Jin, who wrote about a man who wants to be close to his love. Hmm, is this a hint to the girl that dropped him because she couldn't trust him?

Another song, "Beautiful World" is composed by leader and lead guitarist, Choi Jong Hun, who wrote about a man who looks on lovingly at his love. Ah, perhaps another hint towards the ex-girlfriend who suddenly went MIA (missing in action).

These two...I have to say that heartbreak agrees with them. It must have been hard for the both of them, but it looks like they found creative outlets for their emotions.

I can't wait to hear the full album. The sneak preview that they currently have online is not enough!
